What's the craziest thing you've done to be able to afford the bag you wanted?

Went the preloved route. On evilbay. [emoji33][emoji87][emoji85]

craziest would only be selling a bag to get another bag...but don't do that anymore....

 

[jcnc]

I did the exact same thing

 

[ivdw]

Same here, nobody understands the need for so many bags...😊

For me other than save, I did lots of research and thank god for tpf.

I did that last month for the first time with a bad I hadn't carried in 2 years. Still regretting it. Lesson learned.

Nothing too crazy here. I sold 75% of my bag collection to afford my HG - no regrets. This included some scouring of the local ads to buy really well-priced pre-loved bags only to sell them for a marginally higher price. It would often include driving to different areas of the city for the quick sale.

Ooh, don't say that; I'm about to seriously downsize my collection (says she, having vowed to do this for several years now ...)

I once drove down the M42/M40 to Bicester Village and back, one blazing hot afternoon, because they had an Mulberry oak Teddy Rivet Alexa in stock, which was super rare and I thought I'd never see. It was the last day of the BV "extra 20% off" promotion, and I'd only phoned Mulberry on the off chance that they'd have something I wanted for my birthday. The drive alone was in excess of three hours and I literally galloped into the store, bought the bag (which she'd put aside for me) and sprinted back home to pick up my daughters from school. To top it all, I'd left my bottle of water in the boot and didn't have time to stop to get it out ... Hey ho ... (And no, Teddy won't be in the cull!)

Drove over 3 hours to a chanel store that had it in stock and reserved for me.

 

[ccbaggirl89]

sold all of my jewelry. i really hate jewelry and never wear any at all, except one pair of gold stud earrings. i sold every last piece of jewelry and used the money for a handbag instead.

I think the craziest thing I did was that I called my ex, asked him to return what he owns lol.

Hilarious, I love it [emoji48][emoji48][emoji48]

I sold as much stuff on eBay as I could find to get sufficient funds for my Daria Hobo.

 

[Matryoshka.ca]

purposefully overdrew my bank account




BUUUUUUUUUUT it paid off, it was for THREE random Rebecca Minkoff 'Loveletter' bags at Nordstrom Rack last year for 250.00 each, i kept one and sold the other two for 500.00 each within days

Good business!!

I can't think of anything crazy I've done for a bag (well, crazy by my standards anyway!) but I do have to say most of my family and friends think that I am CRAZY for the number of bags I have. They just don't get me like you all do LOL.

Lol, story of my life

You are not alone
